Workplace wellness and team building workshops
Looking for something a bit different for team bonding or client entertaining? A fermentation workshop offers hands-on, inclusive fun and something to take home but also a life-long skill that can contribute directly to mental and physical health and wellbeing.
Boost team morale and gut health at the same time! Options range from a quick lunch’n’learn to the full three hour workshop.
Available in London and further afield by request.

About Sauerpuss
I’m Clare Heal, a chef and fermenter. I fell in love with fermentation - the almost alchemical process of “cooking with microbes” - about 10 years ago. Sauerpuss is the brand under which I make my own seasonal, small-batch krauts, kimchis and hot sauces and teach these flavour-enhancing, waste-reducing, health-giving techniques to others.
Get in touch to book a workshop or sign up for my newsletter with a weekly ferment or ferment-adjacent recipe each week.
Sauerpuss values:
Community and accessibility
Empowerment through education
Seasonality and sustainability
Scientific integrity
Authenticity and respect for the process
